My 275 Rigby has become my favorite rifle. Easy to carry, wonderfully accurate, easy to shoot to 400 yards struggling right now with taking it over the 300HH elk hunting but that wont likely happen. However, she very well may make the trip to Africa this spring. 140s a touch over 2900 and 150s...
I'm quite comfortable tonight, kinda windy but warm for 6000 ft. Been up here since Friday and it's true, deer numbers are way down in this unit. I recall years past seeing close to 20 bucks a day. I've seen two spikes a fork horn and one good buck who caught me flat footed, rifle slung and the...
My experience with factory ammo is limited to primarily that purchased by my department. The budget was in the neighborhood of a million rounds a year to cover duty, practice and specialty assignment and academy training. I would guess less than 1/4 of that number was rifle ammo. (223/556 and...
Dad got stationed at Ft. Wainwright when it was still Ladd Air Force Base. Mom and the first three of us arrived in sept. We had flown from Chicago to Seattle got on a bus to Ft. Lewis and then took a military transport to Alaska. When we left Chicago it was about 90 degrees and 90 percent...
Ok, that makes sense but I gave Dr Mike bad intel ran the data with a 24 instead of a 26 inch barrel and I am running about 2 grains less powder for the same velocity as tested. If my load at 67.5 gr. Gave me 2975 and a B time of of 1.17 is the difference from 1.17 and 1.19 significant for these...
Need a little help understanding my results. Accuracy is good at several loadings but attained velocity is quite a bit higher.

I’ll get them off to you today or tomorrow. I just counted the Nosler brass, there are only 20 not 25. I didn’t recall pulling 5 cases out. Must have needed to top off my 338 Jarrett.
I am divesting myself of a few guns, thought I might go ahead and give my buddies a chance at the scopes. Any way looking for $800.00 a piece U.S. One of the scopes has a duplex cross hair the other a wind plex.
I have a box, (25)Nosler 8mm Remington brass new and shinny. Also have 28 New Remington cases, a few have some tarnish on them from hanging around so long.
Send me 10 bucks for shipping and they are yours.
I can remember hunting them with my Dad in the early sixties, it was like going shopping. But then the road only went to Circle. Hope you have a good winter.
One of my brothers, the youngest forgot his 06 ammo one year elk hunting. Used some of mine that was just a little bit longer than the load we had for his rifle. The bullet was jammed into the lands tight enough that he pulled a bullet out of the case. Thank full we always have a cleaning rod in...
